Hi,
  I have FC5 -> GDM -> LDAP authentication working.

  The strange thing is that the password must be entered into the first 
prompt, and username into the second prompt... And sometimes you have to 
give the username and password combo twice before becoming authenticated.

  I'm still trying to figure out whether the bug is in the pam modules 
or GDM... But I haven't really had the time or proper motivation to 
analyze it with a debugger or ethereal yet.



BR,
Mike
